Five leadership schools were attended by twelve supervisorsthat encompassed subject matter across a spectrum from first line supervision toexecutive development. Thirty-four department members were certified in CPR/First Aidand AED application. Six members of our special response team attended six tacticalresponse schools to improve skills in high-risk operations. Detectives participated in teninvestigative schools to gain knowledge or improve expertise in managing andexamination of felony incidents.

PARKING ENFORCEMENTFor fiscal year 2009, revenues for parking fines andvehicle boots totaled $128,040.50. Another$52,940.51 was collected for parking permits and$90.91 was collected from 15 parking meters. Thesemeters were removed from the Jefferson Streetparking lot during April based on limited use and withthe approval of the City Council. We continued touse the “Credit Bureau” in Lewiston as our collectionagency for overdue parking citations. During the yearthey were successful in collecting $4,405.12 on parking citations past due by more thansix months.The two automated parking ticketeers continue to be very efficient by digitallydownloading citations into the AIMS computer software saving time on data entry. Thetickeeters have been a benefit to the record technicians and save on paper cost andreducing entry errors.Diane Erickson completed her fifth year with the department and Christopher Gilbertsonwas hired on August 10, 2010 to fill the vacancy created by the promotion of KirstenMeyer. One supplemental duty assignment tasked to Parking Enforcement at the end of2009 was to actively patrol the city streets for abandon vehicles. This duty was inconcurrence with recommendations made by the Snow Removal Task Force and thedesignation of snow routes. After the first measurable snow fall during the first week ofDecember, 92 vehicles were identified as possible abandons. Fifty-six were moved afterfirst notification and only one had to be towed because of the diligent efforts on the partof Diane and Chris.Sergeant Fager and Parking Enforcement Specialist Erickson actively participated in theDowntown Parking Task Force during 2009. This task force made numerousrecommendations to the City Council on addressing limited parking. Tworecommendations were approved. The first altered the no overnight parking limitationsposted downtown. The second revision changed the two-color permit system to only onepermit and reduced the annual fee to $75 for our City Hall, Jefferson Street, and JacksonStreet parking lots. A cap of 85 green permits was adopted at first but was later raised to110 at the end of 2009 by the council. The permit revisions have helped move downtownresident and employee vehicles off the city streets and into the public lots, therebyopening more parking spaces on downtown streets for visitors or customers.

In June of 2009 theCity signed a new dispatching agreement extending our contract with Whitcom throughDecember 31, 2015.

Another $10,250 was paid tosupport Whitcom for access to the Idaho State Police for ILETS functions.The partnership with Whitcom has provided the community of Moscow and theUniversity of Idaho with advanced support in many technical fields. Whitcom employs amapping system which provides dispatchers with overhead pictures of the address inquestion. They also use a geographical information system (GIS) on Moscow inconjunction with the local cellular telephone companies for locating cell phone calls. Allcellular vendors are Phase II compliant which gives a dispatcher the ability to pinpoint a911 cell phone call within a 300 foot perimeter of the location of the cell phone. During2009, Whitcom expanded its capabilities for next generation transferable data and video(NG-911) retrieval and is moving toward meeting the industrial requirements in the nextseveral years.A City staff representative meets once a month with the Whitcom Executive Board tokeep a voice in dispatching matters and makes recommendations for improvements.
